The "association" designation is reserved solely for student and faculty groups where the college or university does not allow a campus group to affiliate with a national organization. See the instructions at right.

The “In Process” designation is reserved for Christian fellowships that are not yet ready to affiliate with InterVarsity. Normally it is a designation that that is usable for up to two years. Groups for whom this designation is appropriate include:

GFM groups that may require a dual affiliation with InterVarsity and another organization;

Campus groups that are new to InterVarsity and are exploring affiliation or association or

Chapters that are in the process of being planted and do not yet have student leaders chosen who can sign the affiliation or association documents.
